Biological soil crusts alleviate the stress of arsenic on rice germination and the underlying immobilization mechanisms

The high concentration of arsenic (As) in paddy soil has seriously threatened the growth of rice and human food safety. Biological soil crusts (BSC), which are ubiquitous in paddy fields, have been shown a high ability to capture trace metal elements. In the present study, we investigated the effect...

description The high concentration of arsenic (As) in paddy soil has seriously threatened the growth of rice and human food safety. Biological soil crusts (BSC), which are ubiquitous in paddy fields, have been shown a high ability to capture trace metal elements. In the present study, we investigated the effectiveness and mechanism of BSC for immobilizing As, and tested their potential to alleviate the stress of As on rice germination. It is found that BSC can remove 77.8% of arsenic in solution with 3.5 mg L−1 initial As concentration. The As content in BSC reached 514.5 mg kg−1 after 216 h exposure, and the entrapped As was mainly distributed in BSC as a non-EDTA-exchangeable fraction, which might be intracellularly accumulated.
